Croze investigates abandoned Langstroth hive
Leon Croze visits Karura Forest to inspect the beekeeping activities there. Says Croze, “Some of the Haruma Village hives are showing a lot of neglect, but others seems to be well-maintained and productive. The people need more training and effort to achieve a successful honey harvest. The potential is great due to all the beautiful flowers in the forest. Each Langstroth hive if properly maintained could yield 15 kg of honey in the honey-flow season.” He noted that the hives in the ICIPE experimental enclosures (see photo) maintained to success standards. There is clearly a huge unrealised honey enterprise potential in Karura.
Croze has expressed interest in helping the Haruma community improve its apiculture to sustain profitable honey production.
